Conditions  of  Sale 


1.  Any  bid  which  is  merely  a nominal  or  fractional  advance  may  be  rejected  by  the 
auctioneer,  if  in  his  judgment,  such  bid  would  be  likely  to  affect  the  sale  injuriously. 

2.  The  highest  bidder  shall  be  the  buyer,  and  if  any  dispute  arise  between  two  or 
more  bidders,  the  auctioneer  shall  either  decide  the  same  or  put  up  for  re-sale  the  lot  so 
in  dispute. 

3.  Payment  shall  be  made  of  all  or  such  part  of  the  purchase  money  as  may  be 
required,  and  the  names  and  addresses  of  the  purchasers  shall  be  given  immediately 
on  the  sale  of  every  lot,  in  default  of  which  the  lot  so  purchased  shall  be  immediately 
put  up  again  and  re-sold. 

Payment  of  that  part  of  the  purchase  money  not  made  at  the  time  of  sale,  shall  be 
made  within  ten  days  thereafter,  in  default  of  which  the  undersigned  may  either  con- 
tinue to  hold  the  lots  at  the  risk  of  the  purchaser  and  take  such  action  as  may  be 
necessary  for  the  enforcement  of  the  sale,  or  may  at  public  or  private  sale,  and  with- 
out other  than  this  notice,  re-sell  the  lots  for  the  benefit  of  such  purchaser,  and  the 
deficiency  (if  any)  arising  from  such  re-sale,  shall  be  a charge  against  such  purchaser. 

4.  Delivery  of  any  purchase  will  be  made  only  upon  payment  of  the  total  amount 
due  for  all  purchases  at  the  sale. 

Deliveries  will  be  made  oii  sales  days  between  the  liours  of  9 A.  il.  and  1 P.  !M., 
and  on  other  days — except  holidays — between  the  hours  of  9 A.  iM.  and  .5  P.  M. 

Delivery  of  any  purchase  will  be  made  only  at  the  .American  Art  Galleries,  or 
other  place  of  sale,  as  the  case  may  be,  and  only  on  presenting  the  bill  of  purchase. 

Delivery  may  be  made,  at  the  discretion  of  the  Association,  of  any  purchase  dui'ing 
the  session  of  the  sale  at  which  it  was  sold. 

5.  Shipping,  boxing  or  wrapping  of  pui'chases  is  a business  in  which  the  Associa- 
tion is  in  no  wise  engaged,  and  will  not  be  performed  by  the  Association  for  purchasers. 
The  Association,  will,  however,  afford  to  purchasers  every  facility  for  employing  at 
current  and  reasonable  rates  carriers  and  packers;  doing  so,  however,  without  any 
assumption  of  responsibility  on  its  part  for  the  acts  and  charges  of  the  parties 
engaged  for  such  service. 

6.  Storage  of  any  purchase  shall  be  at  the  sole  risk  of  the  purchaser.  Title  passes 
upon  the  fall  of  the  auctioneer’s  hammer,  and  thereafter,  while  the  Association  will 
exercise  due  caution  in  earing  for  and  delivering  such  purchase,  it  will  not  hold  itself 
responsible  if  such  purchase  be  lost,  stolen,  damaged  or  destroyed. 

Storage  charges  will  be  made  upon  all  purchases  not  removed  within  ten  days  from 
the  date  of  the  sale  thereof. 

7.  Guarantee  is  not  made  either  by  the  owner  or  the  Association  of  the  correct- 
ness of  the  description,  genuineness  or  authenticity  of  any  lot,  and  no  sale  will  be 
set  aside  on  account  of  an.y  incorrectness,  error  of  cataloguing,  or  any  imperfection 
not  noted.  Every  lot  is  on  public  e.xhibition  one  or  more  days  prior  to  its  sale,  after 
which  it  is  sold  “ as  is  ” and  without  recourse. 

The  Association  exercises  great  care  to  catalogue  every  lot  correctly,  and  will  give 
consideration  to  the  opinion  of  any  trustworthy  expert  to  the  effect  that  any  lot  has 
been  incorrectly  catalogued,  and,  in  its  judgment,  may  either  sell  the  lot  as  catalogued 
or  make  mention  of  the  opinion  of  such  expert,  who  thereby  would  become  responsible 
for  such  damage  as  might  result  were  his  opinion  without  proper  foundation. 

SPECIAL  NOTICE. 

Buying  or  bidding  bj^  the  Association  for  responsible  parties  on  orders  transmitted 
to  it  by  mail,  telegraph  or  telephone,  will  be  faithfully  attended  to  without  charge  or 
commission.  Any  purchase  so  made  will  be  subject  to  the  above  Conditions  of  Sale, 
which  cannot  in  any  manner  be  modified.  The  Association,  however,  in  the  event  of 
making  a purchase  of  a lot  consisting  of  one  or  more  books  for  a purchaser  who  has 
not,  through  himself  or  his  agent,  been  present  at  the  exhibition  or  sale,  will  permit 
such  lot  to  be  returned  within  ten  days  from  the  date  of  sale,  and  the  purchase  money 
will  be  returned,  if  the  lot  in  any  material  manner  differs  from  its  catalogue  descrip- 
tion. 

Orders  for  execution  by  the  Association  should  be  written  and  given  with  such 
plainness  as  to  leave  no  room  for  misunderstanding.  Not  only  should  the  lot  number 
be  given,  but  also  the  title,  and  bids  should  be  stated  to  be  so  much  for  the  lot.  and 
when  the  lot  consists  of  one  or  more  volumes  of  books  or  objects  of  art,  the  bid  per 
volume  or  piece  should  also  be  stated.  If  the  one  transmitting  the  order  is  unknown 
to  the  Association,  a deposit  should  be  sent  or  reference  submitted.  Shipping  direc- 
tions should  also  be  given. 

Priced  copies  of  the  catalogue  of  any  sale,  or  any  session  thereof,  will  be  furnished 
by  the  Association  at  a reasonable  charge.

Alabama.  As  the  author  lived  among  the  Creeks  and  Cherokees  for  years, 
his  opportunities  for  securing  data  from  original  documents,  &c.  were 
many  and  of  which  he  appears  to  have  made  ample  use.  Some  of  the

Scarce  first  edition,  containing  the  single  leaf  of  Errata  in  Vol.  I.  and 
the  slip  listing  the  “ Number  of  Souls  iu  Canada  in  1784,”  &c.  Also,  one 
of  300  copies  printed  iu  1815,  but  for  some  unknown  reason,  the  work 
was  not  issued  until  eleven  years  subsequently,  perhaps  on  account  of 


some  of  Judge  Smith’s  outspoken  statements  contained  in  the  volumes, 
and  which  he  thought  might  offend  his  fellow  Canadians  if  published  at 
that  time. 

Two  curious  facts  in  connection  with  this  History  appear;  (1)  the 
word  “ Finis  ” is  printed  at  end  of  Vol.  I.  as  though  no  additional  volume 
would  be  issued;  (2)  the  second  volume  finishes  with  the  line  “End  of 
the  Second  Volume  ” as  though  another  volume  was  to  be  added,  but 
which,  as  far  as  known,  has  never  been  done.

name  on  title.  Washington,  1811 

Contains  the  complete  stenographic  account  of  this  extraordinary  trial 
of  Alexander  McLeod,  a subject  of  Great  Britain  residing  in  Upper 
Canada,  who  was  arrested  on  the  charge  of  having  been  concerned  in  the 
destruction  of  the  steamboat  Caroline,  and  the  murder  of  several  citizens, 
and  of  one  in  particular,  Amos  Durfee.  It  appears  that  during  the  trouble 
on  the  Canadian  frontier  in  1S37-8. — some  time  in  December  of  the  first- 
named  year, — a steamboat  named  the  Caroline,  belonging  to  a resident  of 
Buffalo,  was  lying  in  the  Niagara  River  at  a place  called  Schlosser,  with 
a number  of  citizens  aboard  who  were  reposing  under  the  protection  of 
American  laws.  During  this  period  a party  of  Her  Majesty’s  subjects 
came  within  the  American  lines,  seized  and  destroyed  the  steamboat,  kill- 
ing several  persons,  among  whom  was  Durfee.  McLeod  was  arrested  for 
this;  and  the  work  here  catalogued  contains  the  full  account  of  his 
trial.  &c.

The  scarce  second  edition,  of  which,  as  of  the  First  Edition,  but  a 
limited  number  of  copies  were  issued.  Emanuel  Crespel  joined  the  band 
of  missionaries  and  went  to  Quebec  in  1724 ; ten  years  later  he  was 
ministering  in  the  country  around  Lake  Champlain.  In  1736  he  set  out 
for  France,  but  was  wrecked  on  the  Island  of  Anticosti,  St.  Lawrence 
River,  whence,  for  some  months,  he  was  unable  to  escape.  Eventually, 
he  was  rescued  and  returned  to  Quebec.  His  accounts  of  Indian  customs 
including  their  torture  of  prisoners,  make  very  graphic  reading.

An  unusuai.ey  fine  and  large  copy  of  the  scarce  First  Edition  of 
THIS  Canadian  history,  with  plates,  text,  and  binding  in  most  desir- 
able CONDITION. 

The  Avork.  founded  almost  entirely  upon  the  Jesuit  Relations  as 
forwarded  periodically  to  France,  dates  from  the  beginnings  of  their 
missionary  labors  in  Canada  in  1625,  to  the  year  1656,  and  includes  an 
al)undance  of  detail  concerning  the  Indian  Tribes  unto  whom  they 
ministered,  their  manners,  customs.  &c.,  with  accounts  of  the  sufferings 
and  hardships  of  the  Fathers,  themselves,  which  our  own  Parkman  so 
graphically  describes  in  English  prose. 

The  large  folding  plate  of  the  murder  of  the  Fathers  named,  which,  in 
ma'ny  copies  is  lacking,  or,  misplaced  in  binding,  is  here  properly  bound. 
The  map  contains  one  of  the  earliest  markings  of  Niagara  Falls,  which  is 
here  called  “ Ongiara  Catarractes.” 

Such  a really  fine  copy  of  this  work  as  is  the  above  is  of  exceeding 
scarcity.

St.  ,Tohn,  a Farmer  in  Pennsylvania.  With  Index  and  2 maps.  8vo, 
half  morocco.  London,  1783 

These  twelve  letters,  dedicated  to  the  Abb^  Raynal,  describe  the  cir- 
cumstances of  an  American  Farmer,  the  Islands  of  Nantucket  and 
ISIartha's  Vineyard  and  the  business  of  whale-fishing  carried  on  by  their 
inhabitants,  with  a letter  to  John  Bartram  on  botany,  etc.  The  pictures 
of  American  life  induced  many,  it  is  said,  to  emigrate.  Crt'vecoenr  was 
French  Consul  to  New  York  from  1783  to  1793.

Fine  copy,  with  plates,  maps  and  text  in  clean,  unspotted  condition. 
This  work  is  original  with  Crevecoeur  and  appears  to  be  a continuation  of 
“ His  Letters  from  an  American  Farmer.”  No  other  writer  has  so  thor- 
oughly described  the  Indian  Great  Councils,  or  given  certain  other  details 
relative  to  the  Tribes  as  this  author,  who  knew  Washington  from  the 
time  of  the  First  Congress  until  his  retirement  to  private  life.  The

strange  from  a personal  standpoint,  he  includes  many  historical  details 
of  the  places  in  the  country  through  which  he  passed,  including  the 
massacre  of  the  Christian  Moravians  on  the  Muskingum  in  1782,  the

name,  he  was  one  of  the  officers  of  the  squadron  commanded  by  Count 
d’Estaiug  which  was  sent  out  in  1778  by  the  French  Government  to  aid 
the  American  Republic,  and  he  gives  here  a most  interesting  amount  of 
circumstantial  detail  concerning  the  meeting  of  the  French  fleet  under 
Count  d’Estaing  with  that  of  the  English  under  Lord  Howe,  near  Newport, 
Rhode  Island,  on  August  10,  1778.  A description  is,  also,  given  of  the 
violent  storm  of  same  date  which  was  the  means  of  separating  the 
opposing  forces,  doing  considerable  damage  to  the  vessels  of  the  French, 
which  made  it  necessary,  according  to  the  author  of  this  volume,  that 
d’Estaing  should  take  his  fleet  to  Boston  for  repairs,  instead  of  remaining 
in  the  vicinity  of  Newport  and  co-operating  with  Generals  Sullivan, 
Greene,  Lafayette,  and  others  of  the  American  land  forces  in  another 
attack  upon  Lord  Howe. 

The  failure  of  d’Estaing  to  assist  at  this  critical  period  compelled 
Sullivan  to  evacuate  Rhode  Island  when  Newport  was  within  his  grasp. 
Lossing  states  that  “ nothing  could  have  saved  the  British  Army  from 
capitulation  had  d’Estaing  co-operated.”

. If  you  have  a private  audience,  it  will  be  in  a small  room,  all 
persons— not  excepting  the  Queen  and  Prince  standing, — and  after  a 
little  conversation,  she  will  courtesy  and  retire,  which  will  be  the  signal

A Fillmore  manuscript  of  great  interest.  Selection  from  which  is  as 
follows : 

Genealogy. 

My  paternal  ancestors  were  probably  from  England,  as  the  name  Is 
found  (spelled  Filmore,  Philmore,  Phillemore,  etc.)  in  the  Parish  records 
of  Oxfordshire  and  the  county  of  Kent,  but  we  have  no  tradition  as  to  the 
first  immigrant  to  America. 

It  is  said  however,  that  my  great,  great  grand  Father  was  a resident 
of  Ipswich,  Mass,  and  that  he  was  taken  prisioner  by  the  French,  and 
after  being  exchanged  was  poisened  (poisoned)  on  board  the  exchange 
ship;  and  left  a widow  and  son,  .Tohn  Fillmore,  born  March  18th,  1702 
who  was  my  great,  great  grand  father.  He  had  a passion  for  the  sea 
and  at  20  obtained  the  reluctant  assent  of  his  mother  to  go  on  a fishing 
voyage  to  the  banks  of  Newfoundland.  Soon  after  his  arrival  there  his 
craft  was  captured  by  a piratical  vessel  commanded  by  Capt.  Philips,  but 
the  vessel  and  the  rest  of  the  crew  were  released  after  taking  him  from 
the  vessel  under  threats  of  instant  death  if  he  refused  to  go,  and  trans- 
ferring him  to  the  piratical  .ship. 

He  refused  to  join  them  and  was  consequently  subjected  to  hard  labor 
and  cruel  treatment;  but  after  being  detained  some  9 months  he  and  two 
others  rose  upon  the  pirates,  killed  some,  and  conquered  and  imprisoned 
others,  and  took  the  ship  into  boston  harbor  where  some  were  tried, 
convicted  and  executed  and  others  sent  to  England  who  shared  the  same 
fate. 

His  sufferings  extinguished  all  desire  for  a sea  faring  life,  and  he 
finally  married  and  settled  in  Norwich  (now  Franklin)  Connecticut, 
where  he  died  Feby.  22.  1771  and  left  a widow  and  14  children.  He  was 
married  three  times  and  probably  all  the  Fillmores  in  the  United  States 
are  his  decendents. 

My  grand  father.  Nathaniel  Fillmore  was  the  first  son  of  his  second 
wife  Dorcas  Day,  and  was  born  in  Franklin  March  20th,  1740,  O.  S.  He 
was  a farmer  and  married  Hephzibah  Wood  and  settled  in  Bennington, 


Vermont,  where  my  father,  his  second  son  was  born  on  the  19th  of  April 
1771.  His  wife  Hepzibah  died  May  11th,  1783. 

My  father  Nathaniel  Fillmore  married  Phebe  Millerd,  daughter  of 
Doctor  Abiathas  Millard  and  Tabitha  Hopkins,  (born  at  Pittsfield,  Mass. 
Angt.  12,  1861)  and  removed  to  Locke  (now  Summerhill)  Cayuga  Co. 
N.  Y.  about  1798  where  I was  born  on  the  7th  of  January  1800.  1 was  the 
2nd  child  and  oldest  sou. 

My  maternal  ancestors  are  said  to  have  resided  at  Warwick,  Rhode 
Island  something  like  a century  and  a half  ago,  and  tradition  say  the 
Millards  (or  as  it  was  usually  spelled  Millerd)  were  of  Welch  origin, 
and  that  many  have  changed  their  names  to  Miller  by  dropping  the 
final  d. 

My  father  about  1802  lost  his  farm  in  Summerhill  by  a bad  title  and 
removed  to  another  farm  in  Semprouius  (now  Niles,  about  2 miles  East  of 
Kelloggsville)  in  the  same  county  where  be  removed  West,  and  after 
stopping  a short  time  in  Niagara  County,  settled  on  a farm  one  mile 
South  of  East  Aurora  village  in  Erie  Co.  N.  Y.  There  my  mother  died  of 
dropsey,  April  2nd,  1831,  and  was  buried  in  the  village  cemetery.  In 
1854  my  father  sold  that  farm,  which  from  his  advanced  age  he  was  no 
longer  able  to  manage,  and  removed  into  the  village  where  he  lived  till 
March  28th  1863,  when  he  died  of  old  age  and  was  buried  by  the  side  of 
my  mother.  He  was  twice  married  and  had  six  sons  and  3 daughters  by 
his  first  wife  and  none  by  his  second  who  survived  him.  His  funeral 
sermon  was  preached  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Hosmer  of  Buffalo  and  published 
in  pamphlet  form,  and  in  the  Buffalo  Courier,  etc.,  etc.

there  your  communication  on  the  subject  of  Mr.  Le  Conteux.  The  facts 
which  you  state  respecting  him  correspond  with  what  I have  always 
understood.  This  gentleman  having  emigrated  from  France  to  the  U. 
States  in  a time  of  peace  between  that  country  and  Great  Britain,  and 
having  been  fourteen  years  a naturalized  citizen  of  this  country,  I am 
clearly  of  opinion,  that  he  cannot  rightfully  be  considered  and  treated  by 
the  government  of  Great  Britain  or  those  acting  under  its  authority  as  a 
subject  of  France,  and  consequently  a prisioner  of  war.  My  good  offices 
with  our  government  cannot  be  necessary  to  induce  particular  attention 
to  the  case  of  Mr.  Le  Conteux,  yet,  as  he  and  his  friends  are  desirious 
of  it,  I shall  with  pleasure  in  a private  letter  to  my  friend  Mr.  Marshall, 
bear  my  testimony  in  favour  of  these  gentlemen,”  etc.

Daniel  Haskel,  who  has  edited  this  Journal,  says  of  the  author  that  in 
all  his  nineteen  years’  residence  in  the  interior  of  America,  he  did  not 
once  visit  the  civilized  portions  of  the  country.  As,  however,  he  was  an 
indefatigable  traveller  through  the  vast  wilderness  in  which  he  lived,  he 
made  good  use  of  his  most  unusual  opportunities  for  collecting  valuable 
data  regarding  the  Indian  Tribes  which  he  visited  as  a trader.  In  the 
copious  vocabulary  of  the  Cree  or  Knistenaw  language  included  in  this 
volume,  Harmon  is  said  to  have  been  assisted  by  his  wife,  a squaw  of  the 
Cree  tribe.

London : Printed  for  A.  Strahan  and  T.  Cadell,  1795 
First  Edition  on  large  paper,  with  all  the  plates,  a portion  of  the 
large  folding  plan  being  rebacked  with  linen,  which,  together  with  the 
text,  are  in  exceptionally  clean  and  sound  condition. 

The  author  was  the  first  white  man  to  reach  the  Arctic  Ocean  overland 
from  America,  and  is  considered  one  of  the  best  authorities  on  the  North 
West  portion  of  the  country.  His  descriptions  of  the  Indians  there  are 
remarkably  vivid,  and  bring  before  the  reader  word-pictures  of  many 
savage  customs,  scenes  of  massacre,  accounts  of  religious  rites,  &c.,  not 
often  equalled. 

The  publication  of  this  Journal  was  due  to  La  Perouse,  who  captured 
Fort  Albany,  where  the  manuscript  of  Hearne  was  found  by  him,  and 
later  turned  over  to  the  British  authorities  with  the  stipulation  that  the 
Journal  should  be  published,  the  result  being  the  work  here  catalogued.

boards,  morocco  back,  worm  holes  through  inner  edges  of  most  leaves,

Paris:  Sebastien  Cramoisy,  1636 
Second  issue  of  the  first  edition,  with  the  alterations  in  the  Indian 
phrase,  p.  82,  and  the  changes  in  tlie  French  text,  pp.  90  and  91. 

This  document  is  known  as  Le  Jeune’s  Relation  of  1635,  but  Is  really 
a composite  made  up  as  follows:  Relation  signed  by  Le  Jeune  and  eigh- 
teen other  Fathers,  pp.  1-112 ; the  Huron  Relation  of  BrSbeuf , pp.  113-206 ; 
Perrault's  Cape  Breton  Relation,  pp.  207-219 ; &c.  Contains  the  apparent 
discrepancy  in  the  dates  of  the  Civil  and  Ecclesiastical  Privileges,  although 
such  is  not  so  in  reality,  as  Church  and  State,  while  using  two  distinct 
calendars,  made  the  difference  but  three  days  instead  of  a year,  as  noted. 

The  introduction  by  Le  Jeune  is  dated  Kebec.  August  28,  1635  ; Brgbeuf’s 
report  is  dated  May  27,  1635,  from  Ihonatiria  in  the  Huron  country 
between  Lakes  Huron,  Erie,  and  Ontario ; Perrault’s  report,  undated, 
describes  the  Island  of  Cape  Breton  (Nova  Scotia),  and  the  characteristics 
of  its  people;  while  the  balance  of  Le  Jeune’s  Relation  is  made  up  of 
unaccredited  reports  from  members  of  the  staff  of  missionaries. 

Father  Le  Jeune  describes  the  extent  of  his  own  mission  from  Cape 
Breton  to  Lake  Huron,  with  the  oldest  “ residence  ” at  Notre  Dame  des 
Anges,  near  Quebec,  urges  that  French  colonies  be  sent  to  Canada,  men- 
tions his  visit  to  Champlain’s  new  settlement  at  Three  Rivers,  not  far 
above  Montreal  on  the  St.  Lawrence,  Ac. 

Brebeuf,  among  other  matters  tells  of  the  astonishment  of  the  Indians 
at  the  sight  of  a clock,  which  they  thought  was  alive,  a magnifying  glass, 
a magnet,  &c.,  and,  also,  treats  of  the  Huron  myths  of  the  Creation.

holes  on  margins,  the  inner  edge-tops  of  some  pages  worm-eaten. 

Paris:  Sebastien  Cramoisy,  1637 
The  Lamoignon-Lenox  copy,  with  the  portions  of  text  on  pp.  85,  146,  158, 
159  differing  from  those  in  the  Bancroft-Lenox  copy. 

A composite  Relation  called  by  the  name  of  the  Superior,  Le  Jeune, 
whose  report  consists  of  eleven  chapters,  but  with  the  larger  portion  of 
the  Relation  by  Brebeuf  whose  report  is  in  two  parts  and  comprises 
thirteen  chapters. 

Eelation  commences  by  describing  the  arrival  of  Champlain’s  successor, 
Montmagny,  as  Governor  of  New  France,  who,  because  of  his  unusual 
piety,  is  expected  to  be  of  great  help  to  the  missionaries  and  their  work. 
Le  Jeune  continues  with  statements  relative  to  the  tricks  of  the  medicine 
men  of  the  Indians  who  have  caused  him  much  annoyance,  emphasizes 
the  fact  of  the  increasing  number  of  baptisms,  “ especially  as  the  Indians 
are,  since  the  coming  of  the  missionaries,  in  wholesome  dread  of  the 


fires  of  hell,”  speaks  of  domesticating  the  native  elk  and  the  training  of 
them  for  beasts  of  burden,  &c.,  &c.,  concluding  in  the  usual  manner  by 
enumerating  the  events  of  the  past  year. 

Brebeuf’s  report  concerns  the  mission  to  the  Hurons.  It  is  in  two  parts. 
In  the  first  he  writes  of  the  unusual  and  intense  drought  which  prevailed 
throughout  Canada  in  the  spring  and  early  summer  of  1635,  and  mentions 
that  the  “ sorcerers,  or  medicine  men,  practice  all  their  arts  to  bring  rain, 
but  without  success,  and  attribute  their  failure  to  the  cross  erected  by 
the  missionaries.  The  latter  appeal,  to  their  patron  saints,  and  abundant 
rains  are  secured.  . . . The  result  is  a plentiful  harvest,  which 

increases  the  good  will  of  the  savages  toward  the  black  gowns.”  In  the 
second  part  of  Br^beuf’s  Relation  much  space  is  devoted  to  the  " beliefs, 
manners,  and  customs  of  the  Hurons,”  including  “ their  solemn  feast  of 
the  dead.”

Second  issue  of  the  first  edition  with  the  title  identical  with  that  of 
the  First  Issue  down  to  the  ornament  which  in  this  issue  is  " the  mono- 
gram of  Christ  surrounded  with  rays  of  light,”  instead  of  the  monogram 
between  small  angels,  and  with  the  altered  imprint.  Also,  the  erratic 
pagination  of  the  First  Issue  is  herein  retained,  including  the  entire 
omission  of  pp.  193-196,  in  Part  I.,  and  the  mispagination  in  Part  II. 
(Huron  Relation)  of  p.  170  as  172.  Although  the  pagination  of  the  two 
parts  is  separate  the  signatures  of  both  volumes  (bound  originally  in 
one)  are  continuous. 

This  Relation,  while  known  as  Le  Jeune's,  Includes  the, Huron  Relation 
of  7 chapters  signed  by  Francois  Joseph  le  Mercier.  and  is  dated  Ihonat- 
tiria.  June  21,  1637.  It  opens  with  the  mention  of  Montmagny,  Champ- 
lain’s successor,  continues  with  an  ingenuous  description  of  the  fireworks 
with  which  was  celebrated  the  feast  of  ” the  glorious  patriarch.  Saint 
Joseph”  [see  folding  plate  p.  IS.  Yol.  I.],  and  notices  in  the  customary 
manner  the  many  baptisms,  conversions.  &c..  the  “sale  on  the  sly”  of 
liquor  to  the  Indians,  the  success  of  the  Indian  schools,  and  much  other 
material,  including  account  of  the  battle  among  the  Indians  at  Three 
Rivers,  near  Quebec. 

In  the  Huron  Relation  by  Le  Mercier.  considerable  Space  is  devoted  to 
the  description  of  the  epidemic  of  small-pox  throughout  Canada,  and  the 
Fathers’  efforts  to  ameliorate  the  conditions  thereof,  while,  at  the  same 
time,  they  endeavor  to  learn  what  they  can  of  the  native  language.  In 
the  final  chapter  of  the  Relation.  Le  Mercier  relates  at  length  of  the 
“ happy  conversion  of  Tsiouendaentaha.  the  first  adult  savage  baptized  in 
good  health  in  the  Huron  country.”

miesme  Compagmie,  Superieur  de  la  Eesidence  de  Kebec.  Small  8vo, 
boards,  morocco  back,  old  writing  and  library  stamp  on  title,  and  a 
Lne  of  writing  on  Table  des  Chapitres. 

Paris : Sebastien  Cramoisy.  1638 

Second  issue  of  the  first  edition,  with  the  name  “ Paul  ” for  “ Paule  ” 
on  title,  the  mispagination  of  Le  Jeune’s  Relation  at  pp.  23  and  35,  and  the 


■"  Estienue  Biuet  ” iu  place 


signature  on  final  page  in  the  “ Permission,”^ 
of  “ Bstienne  Einet,”  as  in  the  First  Issue. 

There  are  two  parts  to  this  Eelatiou.  each  with  the  usual  separate 
pagination,  viz.  (1)  by  Le  Jeune,  Three  Rivers,  August  25,  1638,  and  (2) 
by  Le  Mercier,  Ossossane,  June  9,  1638. 

The  first  notable  event  mentioned  is  the  establishment  of  the  “ Resi- 
dence ” of  St.  Joseph  at  Sillery,  four  miles  above  Quebec,  the  baptism  of 
many  savages  iu  the  “ sacred  waters  ” at  Three  Rivers,  &c. 

Le  Mercier’s  report  concerns  the  Huron  Indians,  and  the  heartbreaking 
experiences  the  missionaries  go  through  because  of  the  altered  attitude 
of  the  Indians  who  “ close  their  cabin  doors  upon  the  priests  ” and  accuse 
them  of  manufacturing  “ charms  to  kill  the  natives,”  and  who  are  attacked 
as  the  authors  of  the  great  plague  then  afflicting  the  tribes.

Paris:  Sebastien  Cramoisy,  1640 

First  issue  of  the  second  edition,  with  the  changed  spelling  of  the 
following : — “ houneste,”  instead  of  “ houeste,”  p.  18,  line  3 ; “ donner.” 
iu  place  of  “ doner,”  p.  23,  line  2 ; “ France,”  instead  of  “ Frace,”  p.  35, 
line  24;  ” oui,”  for  “ ouy,”  p.  42,  line  18;  “ causons,”  for  “causes,”  p.  49, 
line  15 ; and  “ loy,”  for  “ Loy,”  p.  65,  line  15. 

Another  composite  Relation  consisting  of  two  parts,  one  by  Le  Jeune. 
who  refers  chiefly  to  the  missionary  work  on  the  St.  Lawrence,  dated 
Sillery,  September  4,  1639 ; and  one  by  Lalemant  about  the  Indians,  dated 
Ossossane,  June  7,  1639. 

Le  Jeune  makes  much  of  the  demonstrations  of  rejoicing  at  Quebec  over 
the  birth  of  the  French  King’s  son.  how  there  were  many  cannon  salutes, 
fireworks,  illuminations,  and  a brilliant  procession  of  French  and  Indians, 
gives  considerable  data  relative  to  the  foundation  of  the  Ursuline  convent 
iu  the  same  city  by  Madame  de  la  Peltrie  (Marie  Madeleine  de  Chau- 
vigny),  adds  details  concerning  the  superstitious  beliefs  current  among 
the  aborigines,  their  customs,  and  other  interesting  information. 

Lalemant’s  report  describes  the  physical  aspects  of  the  country  in  which 
he  is  laboring,  the  difficulties  attending  his  work,  the  hopeful  prospect 
thereof,  the  number  of  assistant  priests  with  him,  their  daily  occupa- 
tions, &c.

Paris : Sebastien  Cramoisy,  1641 

Original  edition  with  the  mispagination  in  Lalemant’s  section, — pp.  9, 
SO.  and.  193-198,  here  numbered  10,  74,  and  191-196. 

Vimont,  who  succeeded  Le  Jeune  as  Superior,  seems  to  have  been  the 
editor  only  of  this  Relation,  as  Part  I.  is  signed  by  Le  Jeune,  and  is  dated 
September  10.  1640.  while  Part  II.  (Huron  Report)  is  by  Jerome  Lale- 
mant, dated  May  27,  1640,  with  a postscript  of  August  3d,  in  which  he 
announces  the  death  of  one  of  their  chief  converts, — Joseph  Chihwatenhwa. 

Among  other  matters.  Le  Jeune  notes  the  arrival  of  additional  Ursuline 
nuns,  the  cessation  of  the  epidemic  of  smallpox,  the  renewal  of  the  efforts 
to  cultivate  the  land,  and  enumerates  the  Indian  tribes  known  to  the 
French  from  Labrador  to  Hudson’s  Bay,  and  from  the  Mississippi  to 
ATrginia,  mentioning  in  this  connection  the  arrival  on  the  St.  Lawrence 


of  ail  Englislimaii  who  is  “ searching  for  a route  through  these  countries 
to  the  sea  of  the  North,”  and  who,  in  the  course  of  his  narrative,  speaks 
of  Mexico  and  New  Mexico. 

Lalemant  relates  the  course  of  events  at  St.  .Joseph,  in  the  Huron 
country,  which  report  is  largely  made  up  of  extracts  from  letters  of 
Chastellain  and  Brebeuf,  tells  of  the  founding  of  the  mission  of  St.  Jean 
Baptiste,  described  by  Champlain  as  the  “Cahiague,”  situated  near  Lake 
Simcoe,  and  ends  with  an  account  of  the  new  mission  to  the  Tobacco 
Nation  at  the  south  of  Georgian  Bay, — “ the  richest  of  all  the  missions.”

Composite  Relation  of  two  parts,  edited  by  Yimont,  but  Avritten  by 
Fathers  Le  Jeune  and  Lalemant,  and  carried  personally  to  Paris  by  Le 
Jeune. 

Part  I.  opens  Avith  description  of  the  Avork  of  the  Ursulines,  the  progress 
of  affairs  at  St.  Joseph  de  Sillery,  states  that  Three  RiA'ers  has  become 
a rendezA’ous  for  all  the  tribes  of  the  upper  St.  LaAvrence  and  Ottawa 
region,  and  notes  the  arrival  in  the  summer  of  1G41  of  the  Sieur  de 
Maisonneuve  and  the  first  installment  of  the  neAv  colony  at  Montreal  AA'ith 
Father  De  la  Place. 

Part  II.  contains  a chapter  each  on  the  Huron  missions,  one  on  the 
prudent  and  just  ti’eatmeut  of  the  savages  by  Montmagny,  Avho  all  “ admire 
Ins  liberality,  but  fear  his  sternness,”  mentions  the  continued  depredations 
of  the  Iroquois,  the  success  among  the  Indians  of  the  Tobacco  Nation,  and 
the  establishment  of  a new  mission  to  the  Neutral  Indians  Avho  occupy

Lake  Erie,  concluding  AA'ith  a statement  of  the  Avork  among  the  Nipissing 
Indians,  and  a specimen  of  the  Huron  language,  Avith  French  translation,

Almighty  and  a Christianized  chief.

In  Other  respects  the  collation  is  practicall.v  identical  Avith  that  of  the 
Lamoiguon  copy  in  the  Neiv  York  Public  Library. 

Relation  Includes  the  reports  of  Yimont.  October  4.  1642.  and  Lale- 
mant. June  10.  1642.  As  usual,  the  Iroquois  liaA'e  given  the  Fathers  much 
trouble,  acting  generally  like  fiends.  Avhich  leads  the  missionaries  to  but 
one  conclusion,  that  “ peace  must  be  made  Avith  these  barbarians,  or  they 
must  lie  destroyed.”  For  the  first  time  in  Quebec,  a young  Christian 
Indian  girl  is  flogged  in  imblic  because  she  talked  AA'ith  a Pagan  lover, 
contrary  to  the  command  of  her  parents.  Many  interesting  points  are 
given  concerning  the  AA’ork  of  the  hospital  at  Quebec,  as  aa'cII  as  a descrip- 
tion of  a coloiiA'  just  established  on  the  Island  of  Montreal,  under  the 
Sieur  de  Maisonneuve,  and  the  erection  of  Fort  Richelieu,  on  the  St. 
I.aAvrence,  not  far  aboA'e  Montreal. 

Lalemant  describes  an  eclipse  of  the  moon  and  its  effects  upon  the 


Iiuliaiis.  aud  presents  many  details  relative  to  the  savage  beliefs  and 
superstitions,  the  " impious  feasts  and  the  instability  of  marriages,” 
ending  with  a narration  of  the  Algoukin  celebration,  the  “ feast  of  the 
dead.”  graphically  depicting  its  special  rites, — among  them  *■  a ballet  in 
three  parts,  and  a competition  in  climbing  a greased  pole.”

First  edition,  but  not  First  Issue,  as  correction  has  been  made  in  the 
original  pagination  on  pp.  306-307. 

Written  probably  the  latter  part  of  the  year  164.3,  as  the  Relation 
recounts  affairs  that  took  place  in  that  year  and  the  year  preceding. 
Vimont,  the  narrator,  opens  his  account  with  a description  of  the  pros- 
perity of  the  French  colony,  the  grief  of  its  members  at  the  death  of 
Louis  XIII.  and  of  Cardinal  Richelieu,  both  of  whom  had  been  ardent 
supporters  of  the  Canadian  missions,  the  Ursuline  Seminary  in  Quebec, 
the  residence  at  Sillery,  a short  distance  from  the  first-named  city,  and 
how  the  Indians  spent  the  year  there,  events  at  Three  Rivers,  Fort 
Richelieu,  Montreal,  the  captivity  of  Father  Jogues  by  the  Iroquois,  his 
sufferings,  and  his  eventual  release  through  the  aid  of  the  Dutch  com- 
mandant at  Rennselaerswyck,  near  Albany,  &c. 

Many  interesting  details  are  included  of  the  Indian  tribes  between  Lake 
Huron  and  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence,  both  Christian  and  Savage,  and  in 
addition  to  the  Iroquois,  are  mentioned  the  names  of  the  Atticamegues, 
the  Hurous,  Montagnais,  Algonkins,  Abenakis,  and  others. 

Appended  to  this  Relation  is  the  “ Declaration  of  Messieurs,  the  Direc- 
tors and  Associates  in  the  Comi>any  of  NeAV  France,”  that  “ the  .lesuit 
Fathers  are  not  associated  in  the  said  company  of  New  France,  directly 
or  indirectly,  and  have  no  part  in  the  traffic  of  merchandise  which  Ls 
carried  on  by  it, — “ thus  officially  exonerating  the  missionaries  from  any 
commercial  connection  with  the  fur  trade.

This  Relation  collates  with  the  Bancroft-Leuox  copy  in  most  particulars, 
but  in  two  instances,  at  least,  collates  with  the  Lamoignon-Lenox  copy, 
viz. — ^11.  67,  lines  22  and  24.  where  the  spelling  of  “ appaiser  ” and 
” Ghappelet.”  are  as  ip  that  volume. 

Two  parts  comprise  this  Relation.  (11  by  Vimont,  Quebec,  September  5. 
1644,  and  (2)  by  Lalemant,  Des  Hurons,  September  21,  1643.  The  first 
draft  of  this  Relation  never  reached  Paris  as  it  was  destroyed  by  the 
Iroquois  into  whose  hands  it  fell  through  the  capture  of  Father  .Togues. 
Nearly  a fourth  of  Vimont’s  account  is  occupied  by  the  conversions, 
religious  experiences,  and  pious  acts  of  the  Christian  Indians  at  Sillery. 
Continuing,  Vimont  describes  the  Huron  Seminary  at  Three  Rivers,  the 
capture  of  Father  Bressani  by  the  Iroquois,  the  growing  mission  of 
Tadoussac,  the  succession  of  Buteux  by  De  Quen,  &c. 

Part  II.  contains  news  of  the  capture  of  Father  Jogues  aud  others,  of 
a sanguinary  attack  by  the  Hurons  upon  the  Mascoutens,  “ a nation  more 
populous  than  the  Neutrals.  Hurons,  and  Iroquois,  comMned.  and  who 


speak  ail  Algoukiii  dialect.”  A supplementary  letter  from  Lalemant, 
dated  March  31,  1644,  brings  up  to  date  the  account  of  the  affairs  of  the 
Huron  mission.

Second  issue  of  the  fikst  edition,  with  the  Indian  words  ” Tapoue 
Nama,”  line  10,  p.  176,  instead  of  “Tap  de  Nama,”  as  in  First  Issue, 
where  the  syllable  “ ue  ” is  taken  for  “ de.” 

The  two  parts  of  this  Relation  were  written  (1)  by  .Terome  Lalemant, 
Quebec,  October  28,  1646,  who  in  that  year  succeeded  Yimout  as  superior 
of  the  order  in  Canada,  and  (2)  by  Ragueneau,  Des  Hurons,  May  1,  1646. 

Lalemant  recounts  the  “ blessed  deaths  of  Fathers  De  None  and  Masse, 
the  former  of  whom  was  frozen  to  death  on  the  St.  Lawrence  in  an 
endeavor  to  accomplish  an  errand  of  mercy,  glowingly  describes  the  devo- 
tion of  the  savages  at  Tadousac,  at  the  mouth  of  the  Saguenay  River, 
the  graciousness  of  the  Queen  of  France,  who  has  sent  to  the  .Sillery 
Indians  a portrait  of  herself,  her  husband  and  her  sou.  &c. 

Ragueneau  speaks  of  the  Mohawk  Indians  as  the  only  ones  that  are 
peaceful  and  live  up  to  their  treaty, — of  Father  Bressaui,  who  reaches 
Huronia, — after  his  release  from  captivity  by  the  Iroquois, — of  several 
new  tribes  of  Indians  who  signify  their  intention  of  becoming  Christians, 
viz,,  the  Archiregoriaus  and  the  Nipissirinians,  who  dwell  around  the 
distant  Great  Lakes,— and  of  the  treaty  of  peace  between  the  Besiamites 
up  towards  Labrador  and  the  Micmacs  south  of  them  across  the  mouth 
of  the  St.  Lawrence  in  Acadia.

This  Relation  is  composed  of  but  a single  part,  written  by  Jerome  Lale- 
mant as  Superior,  and  is  dated  Quebec,  October  20,  1647. 

Much  space  is  here  given  to  the  renewed  incursions  of  the  terrible 
Iroquois,  their  capture  of  Father  Jogues,  his  labors,  sufferings,  and  death. 

Mentions  at  some  length  concerning  the  work  of  Father  Druillettes.  who 
has  begun  a mission  among  the  Abenakis,  the  lower  end  of  whose  territory 
extended  well  down  into  the  northern  part  of  Maine,  speaks  of  the 
iourney  of  De  Quen  into  the  country  of  the  Porcupine  tribe,  who  inhabited 
the  land  around  the  head-waters  of  the  Saguenay,  and  concludes  with  an 
historical  sketch  of  the  Jesuit  mission  at  Miscoii,  Nova  Scotia.

This  Kelatiou  was  written  more  for  perusal  hy  the  " faithful of  Italy, 
— those  outside  the  strictly  ecclesiastical  circles, — who  were  deprived  of 
the  reading  of  the  interesting  narratives  of  these  Canadian  missionaries 
because  of  their  being  written  in  French. 

The  author  of  this  Relation  had  labored  in  Huronia,  an  extensive  dis- 
trict l.ving  between  Lake  Huron  and  Georgian  Bay  on  the  north  and  west, 
and  Lakes  Simcoe  and  Ontario  on  the  east  and  south,  from  1645  to  1649, 
and  he  gives  in  an  abridged  form,  and  largely  from  Ragueueau's  Relation 
of  1648,  accounts  of  the  Indians,  the  work  of  the  Jesuits  among  them, 
presenting,  also,  many  details  of  the  customs,  dress,  government  of  the 
savages,  &c.,  especially  of  the  Hurons  and  Algonkius. 

Bressani  makes  some  curious  comments  relative  to  the  tides  on  the 
American  coasts,  the  vast  abundance  of  water  in  the  new  continent,  and 
the  declination  of  the  magnetic  needle  in  sailing  to  the  new  clime,  and 
thus  concludes  the  first  part  of  his  Relation. 

Parts  two  and  three  are  largely  taken  up  with  a description  of  “ the 
conversion  of  the  Canadians  to  the  Faith,”  the  efforts  adopted  by  France 
towards  that  object,  the  hindrance  Bressani  experiences  in  his  work 
among  the  Indians,  his  sufferings  in  captivity,  his  final  ransom  by  the 
Dutch,  and  gives  the  names  of  the  Fathers  who  have  lost  their  lives  in 
the  good  work,  including  Fathers  Anne  de  None.  Isaac  .Togues.  .lean  de 
Brebeuf,  and  others.

Frangois  le  Mercier,  the  new  superior,  sends  this  Relation  from  Quebec. 
October  29,  1653.  The  first  chaptei’,  however,  is  not  written  by  him,  but 
by  the  Paris  editor  who  narrates  the  capture  by  the  English  of  the  ship 
by  which  the  Relation  was  conveyed  to  France,  how  the  messengers’ 
papers  were  seized  and  most  of  them  destroyed  and  as  a consequence  the 
impossibility  of  completing  the  report  for  the  year. 

Le  Mercier  mentions  that  unusual  aid  was  sent  to  Montreal  iu  the 
shape  of  a hundred  men  who  “are  not  only  artisans  but  brave  soldiers  as 
well,”  relates  that  preliminary  negotiations  for  a general  peace  have  been 
opened  with  the  Indians,  including  the  Iroquois,  the  practical  ruination 
of  the  fur  trade  on  account  of  the  attitude  of  the  tribes  saying  “ that  for 
a year,  the  Montreal  warehou.se  has  not  bought  a single  Beaver-skin  from 
the  savages.”

In  the  absence  of  Le  Mercier.  Father  cle  Qiien  writes  this  Eelation, 
which  chiefly  concerns  the  new  Onandaga  mission  started  the  year 
previous.  He  mentions,  also,  the  unusually  early  opening  of  the  waters 
for  commerce,  saying  that  “ for  the  first  time  in  twenty  years  vessels  have 
not  reached  this  country  so  early,”  the  confirmation  of  the  general  peace 
at  Quebec,  gives  a description  of  the  superstitious  rites  of  the  Onandagas, 
their  “festival  of  fools”  (Ononhonaroia).  their  war  preparations,  &c.,  the 
journey  to  the  Ottawas  in  the  country  adjacent  to  the  lower  end  of  Lake

This  scarce  Relation  was  forwarded  to  France  by  .lerome  Lalemant 
from  Quebec,  September  18,  1662.  Contains  much  unusual  data  relative 
to  the  incursions  by  the  Iroquois  far  to  the  south. — “ even  four  hundred 
leagues,” — among  “ reeds  as  tall  as  oaks,  in  the  trunks  of  which  live 
large  bears,  which  feed  upon  the  pith ; Indian  corn  with  ears  two  feet 
long,  and  grains  as  large  as  Muscatel  grapes,  &c„”  and  in  a vague  way  an 
account  is  given  of  the  Mississippi  and  Missouri  Rivers  and  the  Spaniards. 

Chapter  VII.  apparently  is  a supplementary  paper,  perhaps  by  Le  Jeune.

of  the  Montagnais  north  of  the  St.  Lawrence.

There  Is  no  date  to  this  Relation  of  Le  Mercier’s,  and  the  volume  has 
neither  the  “ Permission  ” nor  the  “ Privilege.”  This  is  the  first  Relation 
carrying  the  name  Sebastien  Mabre-Oramoisy,  and  the  last  to  have  the 


vignette  of  Storks  on  title,  &c.  Pages  168-219  contain  the  “ Lettre  Circu- 
laire  ” from  the  Mother  Siiperienr  Marie  de  S.  Bonneventure  de  Jesus, 
which  has  been  reprinted  from  the  exceedingly  rare  original  (Barlow 
Catalogue,  No.  1469 ) reporting  the  death  of  the  Reverend  Mother  Cath- 
erine de  S.  Augustin  (of  Quebec). 

Le  Mercier  commences  by  stating  that  missions  have  been  established 
among  ali  the  five  Iroquois  nations,  who  now  stand  in  wholesome  fear  of 
the  French,  that  new  settlements  are  springing  up  all  along  the  St. 
Lawrence,  that  agriculture  is  flourishing,  that  under  the  government  of 
Courcelles  the  hunting  of  game  has  become  safe  again,  that  a brewery  has 
been  established  in  the  province  of  Quebec  which,  it  is  believed,  will 
cause  a decrease  in  the  drinking  habits  of  the  Indians,  &c.  Then  follow 
the  “ Lettre  Circulaire,”  and  a short  article  praising  the  work  of  the  nuns.

This  is  the  final  Relation  of  the  regular  “ Cramoisy  ” series,  and  the 
last  to  be  contemporaneously  published,  for  reasons  said  to  be  still  unde- 
termined. Relation  is  a composite,  and  consists  of  three  parts.  Dablon’s 
prefatory  note  announces  the  departure  of  Courcelles  and  Talon  for 
France,  and  the  arrival  of  Count  de  Frontenac,  Albauel’s  discovery  of  the 
land  route  to  Hudson  Bay,  the  departure  of  Marquette  for  the  “ south 
sea,”  and  the  discovery  of  a copper  mine  at  Lake  Superior. 

Relation  ends  with  an  account  of  “ the  holy  death  ” of  Madame  de  la 
Peltrie  and  that  of  Mother  Marie  de  ITncarnatiou.  the  former  the 
foundress,  the  latter  the  first  superior  of  the  Ursuline  convent  at  Quebec.

a political  organization  founded  upon  those  great  principles  which  haAe 
raised  in  so  short  a period  the  U.  States  to  a degree  of  greatness,  happi- 
ness and  prosperity,  unexampled  in  history. 

“ . . . Treason  has  aided  the  combined  forces  of  the  mightiest  two 

despots  of  the  world  to  crush  down  for  a moment  our  sacred  design.  But 
nothing  in  the  world  will  succeed  to  shake  the  resolution  of  Hungary 
. . . I was  weak  enough  to  trust  their  sworn  promises  to  he  faithful 

and  righteous  to  my  land,  so  by  an  excess  of  loyalty  it  is  three  years  ago 
I have  saved  the  house  of  Austria,  every  corner  of  its  power  was 
tottering,  and  it  was  given  by  allmighty  God  in  my  humble  hands  to  blow 
it  asunder  like  a handful  of  chaff. 

“ . . . But  on  reading  Mr.  Webster’s  noble  proclamation  of  hope  and 

wishes  for  the  triumphant  propagation  of  those  great  principles,  your 
country  has  so  gloriously  realized,  and  we  have  struggled  for,  on  reading 
the  firm  declaration,  that  the  U.  S.  will  always  continue  warmly  to  feel 
for  those  who  honestly  struggle  against  oppression  . . . Such  words 
issued  from  the  Capitol  of  America  are  like  a revelation  to  mankind. 
. . . Whatever  be  my  fate,  the  memory  of  your  and  your  country’s  gen- 

erosity, will  for  ever  be  the  chief  consolation  of  my  life,”  etc.,  with  men- 
tion again  of  Daniel  Webster,  American  affairs  in  Turkey,  etc.

That  America  was  peopled  by  the  inhabitauts  of  Asia  and  Europe  who 
came  through  Behring  Strait,  which  connected  Asia  and  America,  is  the 
contention  of  this  author.  To  prove  his  theories,  he  gives  many  com- 
parisons of  the  ceremonies  of  the  Indians,  particularly  the  Iroquois,  with 
those  of  ancient  Greece,  the  East,  &c.  Charlevoix  considered  this  work 
of  great  historic  worth,  and  says, — “ We  have  nothing  so  exact  upon  the 
subject  of  which  he  treats.  His  parallei  of  the  ancient  nations  and  the 
American  Indians  is  very  ingeuius.”  Fixe  copy.

uncut.  Ano  1552 

Las  Casas’  first  and  most  celebrated  tract,  relating  the  cruelties  of  the 
Spaniards  towards  the  Indians.  From  the  S.  L.  M.  Baidow  collection  with 
his  bookplate.  The  Barlow  catalogue  states  that  this  edition  was  pub- 
lished by  Antonio  Lacaualleria,  of  Barcelona,  1646,  and  that  this  copy 
lacks  title  and  I^eaf  of  License  following.  Also,  mentions  some  errors  in 
pagination  which,  with  one  exception,  collate  with  the  item  here  cata- 
logued. 

Against  this  opinion  is  that  of  H[enry]  H[arrisse],  who  has  auto- 
graphed the  following  note  on  fly-leaf: 

“ I scarcely  know  what  to  think  of  this  edition.  It  has  a Venetian 
look  about  it,  which  baffles  all  my  suppositions.  If  a reprint  or  piratical 
edition  of  the  Las  Casas  tracts,  and  consequently  of  a later  period,  why 
does  it  contain  only  the  first  six?  &c.,  &c.”

11.,  and  lacliing  the  20pp.  of  “Catalogue  des  Livres.”  The  map  was 
issued,  urobably,  the  same  year  as  the  work  itself,  and  is  not  1G92 
although  the  final  figure  may  look  like  a " 2.” 

Cue  reason  for  the  great  scarcity  of  this  work  is  because  of  the  fact 
of  its  suppression  by  the  French  Government  soon  after  its  publication, 
owing,  probably,  to  its  containing  many  very  severe  animadversions  upon 
the  labors  of  the  Jesuit  Priests,  by  the  author,  who  was  a Franciscan 
Father. 

Coutaius  the  first  original  narrative  of  the  discoveries  of  La  .‘'alle  hy 
two  Recollect  missionaries  who  accompanied  him.  Hennepin  drew  from 
this  the  account  of  his  pretended  discovery  of  the  Mississippi  River. 

The  volumes  comprise  (I.)  Sketch  of  the  Recollect  Missions  in  Canada 
from  1615  to  the  capture  of  Quebec  by  Kirk  in  1629,  with  a satire  on 
the  Jesuits;  (II.)  Accounts  of  the  religious  condition  of  the  Colony, — De

590.  Lezay-Maknezia  (Cl.  Fe.  Ad.  De).  Lettres  lilcrites  des  Kives  de

Small  title  vignette.  8vo,  half  morocco,  slightly  rubbed,  uncut. 
Au  Fort-Pitt,  Ft  se  trouveut  A Paris,  Chez  Prault.  An  IX  de  la 
Eepubliqxte  (1800-1801). 

These  letters,  owing  to  their  suppression  by  the  police  of  France, 
HAVE  BECOME  OF  THE  UTMOST  RARITY.  Sabin  knew  of  but  two  copies,  one 
of  them  being  in  the  library  of  the  University  of  Harvard.  There  is  a 
copy  in  the  New'  York  Public  Library,  w'ith  a dozen  lines  of  Errata  in 
ink  on  the  verso  of  the  half-title,  but  with  the  title  itself  a photographic 
reproduction  of  the  title  of  the  Harvard  copy. 

The  author  was,  in  1789,  a liberal  member  of  the  States  General  of 
France,  and  writes  these  letters  from  America  which  place  had,  evi- 
dently, become  his  permanent  home,  he  signing  himself  a “ Citizen  of 
Pennsylvania.”  There  are  three  letters  in  the  volume;  (1)  to  the 
Chevalier  Bouflers,  dated  Marieta,  November  15,  1790;  (2)  to  Bernardin 
de  Saint  Pierre,  the  well-known  author  of  “ Paul  and  Virginia,”  dated 
Fort  Pitt.  November  2,  1791;  and,  (3)  to  his  son,  Adrien,  dated  Phila- 
delphia. December  15,  1791. 

The  reason  for  'the  suppression  of  these  letters  may  be  readily  dis- 
coA'ered  by  a perusal  of  their  contents  wherein  the  author  will  be  found 
unsparing  in  his  denunciation  of  the  government  and  the  nobility  of 
France  and  their  treatment  of  the  common  people,  and  drawing  frequent 
analogies  between  the  governments  of  France  and  the  United  States, 
much  to  the  advantage  of  the  former.

The  Index  contains  thousands  of  entries  on  historical  events,  the 
Indians,  etc.,  in  the  autograph  of  Orsamus  H.  Marshall.  The  work  Is 
evidently  one  covering  many  years,  and  is  a remarkable  tribute  to  the 
wide  knowledge  of  literature  pertaining  to  Western  New  York  and  Canada 
that  Mr.  Marshall  had,  as  references  are  made  to  hundreds  of  books,  old 
and  modern,  and  in  various  languages,  also  to  maps. 

Under  the  captions  of  “ Niagara  ” and  “ Niagara  Falls,”  there  are  almost 
one  hundred  and  twenty  references,  which  include  the  following  speci- 
mens : “ Niagara.  Its  different  names.  Smith.  N.  York,  p.  220,  vol.  2 

and  vol.  1,  p.  220.”  “ Niagara,  written  ‘ Ongniaahra,’  Rela.  [Jesuit  Rela- 
tions], 1640-1,  p.  65.”  “Niagara,  called  ‘ Onglara  Cataracts,’  Ducreivx, 
Historia  Canadensis,  A.  D.,  1660,”  etc. 

Of  great  historical  value.  A manuscript  notation  by  C.  Sidney 
Shepard  reads : “ These  notations  were  made  by  Orsamus  H.  Marshall, 

Esq.  Attest,  dated,  September  12,  190S,  C.  Sidney  Shepard.”

These  voyages  of  Meares  are  important  links  in  the  chain  of  American 
discovery,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the  pioneers;  and  upon  these  dis- 
coveries the  English  rested  their  claim  to  Oregon.  It  was  the  Spanish 
seizure  of  Meares’  vessels  that  created  the  embroglio  which  led  to  the 
sending  of  Captain  Vancouver  to  Nootka  Sound.

Ito.  Eoxbuiy,  July  5,  1775.  To  Col.  [later  Major-General]  James 
Wadswortli,  with  outside  sheet,  bearing  name  and  address  of  recipient 
in  autograph  of  writer,  this  however  is  much  worn. 

An  important  Revolutionary  document,  written  some  weeks  after 
the  writer’s  projected  plan  to  capture  Fort  Ticonderoga,  on  informa- 
tion GLEANED  FROM  BENEDICT  ARNOLD  WHILE  ON  A JOURNEY  TO  HARTFORD, 
Connecticut,  and  with  mention  of  Generals  Washington,  Putnam, 
and  others. 

“ The  order  lately  given  by  the  Gov.  and  Committee  Sub.iectiug  the 
Connecticut  Forces  to  the  Command  of  the  Massachusetts  Commander  in 
Chief  has  given  great  uneasiness  ...  In  the  next  place  ’tis  said 
here  that  General  Ward  is  under  the  absolute  Dominion  of  General  Put- 
nam and  this  order  eventually  subjects  us  to  the  Control  of  him  and 
thereby  virtually  subordinates  General  Spencer  to  his  inferior  in  Com- 
mand:' Tho’  we  all  acknowledge  Putnam’s  merritt  yet  none  of  us  can 
prefer  him  to  Genl.  Spencer  as  a Commander  . . .It  may  at  first  be 

tho’t  the  appointment  of  Genl.  Washington  will  remove  the  Difficulty 
but  perhaps  it  will  be  tho’t  not  best  to  Subordinate  our  troops  to  him 
until  he  is  appointed  by  our  Assembly  and  Commission  ...  If  Genl. 
Washington  whose  character  is  very  good,  should  be  appointed  General- 
issimo of  our  troops  Genl.  Spencer  must  be  appointed  a Major  General 
or  he  will  necessarily  be  subordinated  to  all  the  Genls.  and  Brigadiers 
in  this  Station  ...  I have  wrote  this  in  Confidence  that  you  will 
not  let  it  he  seen  or  known  to  any  Person  but  my  Friends  who  will  make 
no  other  use  of  it  than  to  get  the  knowledge  of  the  Facts  ”...  The 
Acct.  of  the  Battle  at  Charlestown  is  now  become  an  old  Story.  A 
Cannonade  was  kept  up  from  about  4 o’clock  till  10  o’clock  last  Sunday 
on  Roxbury  they  burned  one  house  and  barn  but  did  no  other  damage. 
The  Interposition  of  Heaven  is  most  evident  in  the  Charlestown  battle  in 
preserving  our  Troops  and  destroying  the  Enemy,  etc.”*

846]  “ . . . I have  nearly  completed  the  publication  of  my  last  volume, 
and  expect  to  return  to  Washington  in  a few  days.  My  whole  time,  day 
in  and  day  out,  has  been  devoted  to  this  work,  for  the  last  seven  years. 
I began  it.  on  a long  experience  in  the  West,  devoted  to  their  languages, 
manners,  customs,  and  antiquities.  Nobody  could  feel  a deeper  interest 
than  I do,  to  make  a fair  and  just  record  of  this  race,  who  are  passing 
before  our  eyes,  and  if  I do  not  succeed  in  the  effort,  it  will  not  be,  I 
fancy,  for  the  want  of  zeal  on  my  part  . . . John  Blacksmith  was 

one  of  the  most  respectable  and  sensible  Indians  I ever  knew,”  etc.

” By  an  Act  passed  during  the  late  session  of  the  Legislature  of  this 
State.  I have  been  authorized  to  make  such  .contract  as  I shall  judge

Islands  within  this  State  situate  in  the  Niagara  River  between  Lake  Erie

mentioned  to  you  . . . The  Treaty  lietween  this  Country  and  Great 

Britain  establishes  the  Territorial  line  to  be.  along  the  middle  of  the 
water  communication  between  Lakes  Ontario  and  Erie  ...  I will 
therefore  thank  you  to  inform  me  whether  Buffaloe.  Batavia.  Genesee. 
Canandaigua  or  Geneva  will  be  most  agreeable  to  the  Seneca  Indians  as 
the  place  of  meeting,”  etc.

De  Tonty  was  La  Salle's  most  trusted  lieutenant  and  shared  his  for- 
tunes until  the  latter’s  death.  It  was  De  Tonty  who  directed  the  build- 
ing of  the  Griffon  whose  mysterious  disappearance  is  a matter  of  Mstory ; 
and  it  was  he  who  in  1688  went  down  the  Mississippi  at  the  risk  of  his 
life  to  seek  and  rescue  La  Salle  only  to  find  that  his  chief  had  been 
treacherously  slain.

I haA’e  several  times  thought  of  writing  to  tell  your  friendly  home 
party  how  well  I found  all  at  home  on  my  return  . . . The  worthy 

Elliott  Cressou,  during  a little  visit  just  paid  to  me  at  Albany,  induced 
me  in  the  course  of  com’ersation  to  write  a stave,  calling  upon  AmeHca 
to  recognize  Liberia.  I wrote  it  at  once,  as  within.  Since  its  date,  the 
Cuban  business  has  come  to  our  ears  ...  It  will  give  the  colored 
race  hope,  and  even  ambition.  Have  I your  forgiveness,  & that  of  Mr. 
Webster’s  (to  whom  I beg  to  offer  my  respects)  for  so  much  voluntary 
intrusion,”  etc.
